CRUTCHES - A long stick with a crosspiece at the top, used as a support under the armpit by a lame person...... I found crutches painful (but then turned out I had injured my wrist at the same time which made using crutches hard work!)
CT SCAN -A Computerised Tomography uses a computer that takes data from several x-ray images of structures inside a human's body and converts them into pictures on a monitor..... This isn't always perfomed for a LF but if you need an operation it helps the surgeon get a much better picture of the damage in preparation for surgery. This machine I didn't mind :)
CAST - A bandage stiffened with Plaster of Paris, moulded to the shape of a limb that is broken and used to support and protect it: 'I had to spend a month in a cast'
Yikes!
ReplyDeleteI had a CT scan recently of my head to help diagnose my migraines.
Hope your foot gets better soon.

Hi Tim, hope the CT scan was useful. I've only ever had one migraine, that was the pits x
DeleteYeah, I wouldn't like a scan of my head, but other body parts would be no problem.
ReplyDeleteThat was my foot so all good. I did have to have an MRI on my hand, now that was unnerving, I just kept focused on the literal light at the end of the tunnel!
DeleteUgh... sorry to hear about your foot! Hope it heals well and soon.

Thanks Guilie and thanks for visiting :)
DeleteI've never had to use crutches but I've tried them and I feel for anyone that needs to use them. :(
ReplyDeleteI did get the hang of them, but I think the damage to my wrist made it more difficult.
DeleteHope your foot gets better soon. Getting around on crutches is a pain.
ReplyDeleteThanks Kate! And thanks for visiting :)
